Stop motion app

I am looking for a good stop motion app for my son to use on the ipad.

I don't know which apps you have tried thus far, but try some of these maybe?:

Stop motion apps

I think we need some stop motion apps on windows phones because I like to make stop motion videos and on other phones we can download stop motion apps

great idea but it is up to developers to step up to the plate, not much we can do here.

Looking for a free stop motion software for my Macbook Pro?

Sorry if this is in the wrong category; I am new here.
I'm currently working on a 40 minute stop motion film. I've experimented with various stop motion apps, but none of them fit what I need. I'm making the film in 9 parts, and I want to be able to export each video as a .mov file and later import into FCPX to make edits and combine everything. I have the audio completely recorded and I plan to take the pictures using my Macbook Pro's built-in webcam. (This film doesn't need to be very fancy; it's for my family.)
I'm looking for something free (not a free trial) and without a watermark. Each of the 9 parts is inbetween 3-8 minutes. What do you recommend?
Thanks

I want to find a 1080p projector that I can connect my macbook pro to wirelessly and mirror what is on the screen... Or maybe a way to go about doing so, I knwo that you can mirror your iphone and ipad with ios 5 and apple tv...not sure on macbook pro? This might be too strange of a thing to be looking for but it would be so nice to eliminate wires from my life as much as possible...i.e. wireless headphones, printer, and projector (rather than a television) Anything help on this would be great! Thanks everyone!
You can do it, but are you prepared to spend? it won't be cheap. It may be cheaper than I thought.
You will need a projector with an HDMI input, and you will need a method of transmitting the HDMI signal, complete with all ancillary protocols (so HDMI 1.2 at least, 1.4 is safer) via wireless. That means way more bandwidth than 2.4 or 5G wireless can offer.
I have had success with the TruLink 60Ghz WirelessHD transmitter/receiver, 30ft range (20 is more 'real world') 1 hdmi in and 1 hdmi out, so they replace the cable. Last pair I bought were $600, but I just saw that Amazon have them available at $141 ....
However these are line of sight devices, no motion and no obstruction between the pair or fuzzzzzz

What programs/functions do I need to master in order to create stop motion animation?

Hi,
Im just starting a new job, and will be creating a handful of films for my new employer.
I want to create something interesting, and have been leaning towards stop motion animation.
What initially inspired me was this music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfcHq0hhFWg
To me, it looks like a bunch of stop motion ( ex; the paper balls and hand colored individual frames of the guy playing guitar), paired with some digital animation (walruses). Please correct me if I am wrong about this.
So - to focus my question:
1) What program does one use to play all the individual pictures taken to create the stop motion animation? In other words, once I have shot all the individual pictures of the objects I want to animate, and am ready to organize them and set a playback speed, what program would I use? Do most people just throw all the pictures into final cut and do it that way?? Or is there a better program?
and
2) How do you cut portions of pictures / drawings / frames out to allow for a deep layering effect? I figure most people take each frame and manipulate it individually using photoshop (cutting portions of an image out so something else can be seen through the void). But is there a better way??
For example, lets say I have two crecent shaped pieces of black paper, and I want them to move towards each other from the left and right sides of the screen, and eventually completely obscure whatever is going on in the background behind the paper images. First I would take a series of pictures, moving the pieces of paper in small increments, until they closed the gap and overlapped each other. From that point, I would lay down whatever video I wanted playing in the background into the timeline. Next, I would import the series of photos with the pieces of paper moving towards each other - then comes the problem. The portion of the pictures used for the animation that is NOT PAPER would be obscuring my background video. So at this point, is it easier to shoot the animation against a white background and just chroma key the white out? Or do most people cut the non paper part out using photoshop? or is there a better way?

Congratulations on the job. Not many of them out there.

Easy to search the app store, as mentioned, or just google stop motion for macintosh. Mastering the application is easy. Learning how to animate is where you need to start.

In the odlen days, we used multiplane stages. Each set of drawings was placed on a glass stage, one under the other. INcredibly fun, absurdly difficult to keep clean and properly lit. Now all of that stuff is done with alpha channels and compositing software like Motion or Afer Effects.

Umm, yes. You're only guessing. And, honestly (Did you want honesty?), your heart may be in this but you don't have much a clue. Techniques and effects (and the experience to guide the decisions to do them in camera, on the shooting stage, or in software) are not where you start animation. You start by learning how cameras work, how shutter speed and f-stop relate to ISO speed, how to shoot on-2s (or if you should), how to do eases and stretches and squishes, how to develop characterization in inanimate objects so you can invoke emotive responses from the audience, how to shoot to hooks in the soundtrack, how to plan, how to storyboard, how to budget time, how to establish and maintain quality shooting conditions, how to do animatic or rough tests, how to learn from the tests, how to have fun, how to make money, how to get it done.
This is kind of like saying you've just inherited a hundred acres and are thinking about getting into farming. You plant some seeds and do some stuff and then pick it and sell it. How hard can it be?

Making a stop motion movie

Hi, i've recently shot a stop motion movie. I have transferred the pictures into Iphoto, and opened them up in Imovie, but when i try to add them with a 0:03 frame rate via the photo settings, it does nothing! HELP!

You could save a lot of time (no imports into iPhoto or iMovie) by creating your video using a dedicated stop motion software app.
You could also upgrade QuickTime Player to "Pro" ($30) and use the import Image Sequence to build the video. It takes only a few minutes.
Export this file as DV Stream (or not) and you can use it in iMovie to use its features (titles, transitions and effects).
iMovie is a DV editing app. Any file format other than .dv will be converted to it.
You're working with image formats and you may not even want the conversion to "video".
Tell us the destination format you want to implement and we can help you decide the best course.

Imovie frame speed adjustment for stop motion

Now I'm on imovie 10.0.6, I can't seem to get the software to let me adjust my frame speed.
I'm working with stills, that I want to edit into a stop motion piece for some of the film, and show other images as stills for other sections.
The speed editor is greyed out, as is the FF option. Also, the duration is showing in seconds, where as in old imovie i would go into the preferences to show frames per second.
Any one overcome this issue and can help how I get the functionality I need?
thanks

your workflow is - sorry to say that - a bit ... inconvenient
the usual workflow is: record using some plain green or blue background, create matte/key new background in, color-process video.
'matting by hand' skips 50 years of video-processing ...
you can accomplish that with iMovie, Motion or FCPX. iM and FCPX come with a bundle of 'presets' which allow similar coloring/contrasting/de-saturation as pixlr. FCPX for sure allows much more, in detail manual manipulations of color, although the 'video' tab in iMovie11 offers enough 'knobs' to create the few looks pixlr offers. Motion wouldn't be my first choice, as the app's name implies, it is basicly not meant for such simple color-corrections.

Frames in stop motion

Hi, I'm creating a stop motion animation for an assignment. But for some reason, every time I try to put in the frame length as 0.25 it automatically becomes 0.24, it's the same with frames of 0.5 which become 0.48.
I'm making an animation to music... so the frames have to be exact. Can you give me any tips?
Thanks so much

welcome Carla McGlynn to the  iMovie boards ...
video has standards.. as PAL=25fps, NTSC=29.97fps .. iM08 can handle only 'some' fractions of this..
for stopmotion, there are other, 'better' tools to consider:
QTpro - which converts with a snap any 'picture sequence' into video
iStopMotion - which is a cheap but excellent specialized app
FramebyFrame - new, doing almost the same..
and, I would recommend iMHD6 (free download at ), although it seems, I'm the only one who's able to teach it a 00:00:01 (=1 frame) picture length...
(we had a few discussions about that, I had to upload a screengrab to 'proof' my position...)

Best way to downsize images and create timelapse/stop motion sequences of various durations

I`m wanting to know should I use compressor to add image sequence and downsize images, or aperture to downsize a folder of images, (i`m talking 4000 to 10,000 photos in one folder). What app is faster and more stable (reliable in converting the whole batch without crashing) ?
I had been doing some mix of stop motion and timelapse and wanted to downsize the images, then take them into FCP.X to create a video,
from there I would be adjusting the frame duration for different groups of photos in the one time line, some groups will have slower frame durations, others faster frame durations depending on the effect I want.
Is FCPX the best choice to do this in? Or should I select the photos I want at a particular frame duration and process/output them in another software first.
Then take them into FCPX to put with other sequences of footage.
Another related question, Compressor, Ive applied a destination and setting by dragging them from the templates, but the following message comes up for the video when I click "submit.."
- Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination.
the source is small, for smallest quicktime output, the destination is users movies folder...
any suggestion would be great,
thanks,

If I want to keep the original image file size I would choose a different location? (to make a copy at lower resolution). (some images I want for printing at A2 but haven`t the time to siphon those out yet).
Thanks for the request I hope it is moved (will I be notified via email?)
regards my 2nd question, i`ll clarify that a bit more for the FCPx forum,
...Compressor, Ive applied a destination and setting by dragging them from the templates, but the following message comes up for the video when I click "submit.."
- Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination.
I already set the source to small, for smallest quicktime output, the destination is "users movies folder"...both were dragged up into the fields required near the video thumbnail.
Not sure what to do from there it wont let me proceed.

Classic by Motion Apps - Does anyone still have a license key?

Does anybody still have a valid license key for this program hanging around in an email attachment or possibly archived somewhere? I'm willing to live with the possibile problems people have mentioned but unfortunately, I bought my Palm Pre less than 2 weeks after Motion Apps stopped selling it and turned all source code/licenses etc over to Palm. Palm was then bought out by HP but HP doesn't know anything about it. :-(
Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

Seems to me that the underlying question being asked is not licence keys, but how to revive or at least to get access to Classic. So how about a constructive answer to this question as well as a rebuke?
If you know of a legal way to activate the program, feel free to provide a solution!
The program is finished, and no longer sold. The OP knows this already. If I had an answer, I would have happily provided it (as has been my custom for the last 6 years of volunteering my time here...)

Fascinate Market all of a sudden stopped downloading apps - pls help

I bought a Samsung Fascinate today. It never downloaded any apps. I did a Master restart, and it started to download apps (about 4) - then it stopped downloading. I click on "install," it says "application will download" and then it immediately says "download unsuccessful."
I called customer service at Verizon three times - spoke to their tech guys - and they recommended getting a new phone.
So, I went tonight and got a new phone. It was working great - downloading apps.
Then all of a sudden, it stopped downloading apps and every time I try to download anything, it says "download unsuccessful."
So it's not the phone, I gather. I don't know what to do. I'm so frustrated.
Thanks for any and all help you can offer. I really like the phone and don't want to get a different one, but I need to be able to download apps. Clearly, customer service/tech support is worthless (they were Googling the problem to help me - I can do that!).

Letstry some different steps to try to correct this problem.
First you would want to verify that you have the 3G coverage on the phone.
You can verify that information at the top, next to the signal bars.
Then could I get you to do a soft rest on the device.
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
Then dial *228 send and option 1, then dial *228 send and option 2.
If you are attempting to download the same application, try downloading a different application to see if you get the same error message.
Then try this step:
From the home screen, select Applications.
Select development,
Then allow 3rd party applications.
Finally before downloading applications try stopping the applications that are running in the background.
From the home screen, select Applications.
Select Running Services, Choose unnecessary applications and Force Stop.

My iphone stopped downloading apps! :S help me

Hello! my iphone stopped downloading apps that when i go to download i press install and it shows the download on home screen and "Waiting..." then it hides and go away from screen!!! help me i tried many apps but same problem

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? Thanks.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

Can I use canon eos40d for stop motion capture in premiere elements 9?

I Want too do stop motion capture but when I click get media, the pop up dialog box proceeda as if to import still photos. How do I get the "capture panel" that is talked about where I can select stop motion? Is premiere elements 9 supposed to work with a still camera like mine for stop motion at all? Thanks!!' Kimberley

Thanks for the reply. This is my take on the situation that you describe.
You wrote
The camera was linked to PC with USB cable and then the software showed on the PC what would normally be in the camera viewfinder. The enter key on the PC worked as a shutter release and onion skinning worked. Can premiere elements do this?
That more or less describes the Premiere Elements Webcam experience if Premiere Elements recognized the Webcam.
If you have made a USB connection between the Canon 40D and the computer and you are not getting a Capture Window when you use Premiere Elements' Add Media Webcam or WDM compatible device, then Premiere Elements does not support that simple route. It is my understanding that WDM compatible device represents Windows Driver Model (a framework for device drivers).
I have done some Google searching, and I have found instance where claims have been made for the Canon 40D as a webcam. I post one of these links for informational and non promotional purposes.
http://extrawebcam.com/
Have you explore any utilities that came with the Canon that might supply drivers for the Canon as a webcam?
Have you tried to use the Canon 40D as a webcam with Windows Movie Maker?
Please review and consider. (Also, 9.0.1 Update can be downloaded and installed from the project's Help Menu/Update or obtained online from

We will be watching for further developments.
Thank you.

Making a stop motion movie with stills. Please help!

I have a question for someone really smart:)... I am making a stop motion movie on imac with still photos. when i select a photo from iPhoto, and add it to the imovie project, it is adding multiples of each picture and i have NO idea why. I dont know if i changed a setting somewhere or what. This simple project went from fun to frustrating pretty quick. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I would - to test and get project going
• Start a New User account (Apple Menu - down to System preferences / Accounts)
• Log out and into this
• Now test iMovie and see if all is OK
If not - the problem might lay in iPhoto photo-library - To try to mend this - YOU NEED TIMES - lot's of times - did it Yesterday > 8 hours !
When nothing but Mac OS is up and running
• Keep alt+cmd-keys down - During Full Up-Start of iPhoto
• Now You get a Menu
• Select all options
• KEEP Mac connected to Power-Mains as if lap-top battery might not last the full process
• Have a nice day / book or whatever - as this will take long long time !
Yours Bengt W
